Devil's Advocate is right that academics, businesses and public entities rely on this information. Stats Can ensures that the data is aggregated and cannot be linked to one single individual. Meanwhile the conservatives are busy tapping phone lines and monitoring activity for security purposes without going through proper channels.
Yeah, I said it!

Bush, nor the laws he changed or screwed up have nothing to do with Canada.
Nor are conservatives in the US like conservatives in Canada.
And its a legitimate concern to be concerned about my private information. Being concerned is why Stats Canada makes sure the information is protected.
